This video was a LOT of fun and my kids are still loving the games!

[jackmikemotown]

this is honestly amazing. it's clear you care a lot about your kids and the amount of time you probably spent thinking of and setting all these up so your kids are entertained while youre busy is both impressive and admirable

[Mike-zflo]

His kids are playing 4D chess watching this video so they can circumvent his automations.

You should make an automation that will let your kids leave a message. This would show up as a mail icon on your stream deck that you could press and listen to the messages when you had free time. This would also help if your kids forget what they want to tell you.

These automations are absurd and ridiculous and I loved every last one of them!! And they kept getting progressively more interesting too!!! This is such a creative use of tech where you home is able to interact with your kids in a meaningful way.

Im curious though, how does your wife feel about it? Mines would think it’s ridiculous but then use it consistently 😂

[Xiantez]

The only flaw in this logic is that it would backfire. If you give them treats for knocking on your door. They will be knocking on your door all day, just so they can play the games and get the treats lol

[Stryka]

This is the best thing I've seen yet with automations! Your creativity, imagination and ability to work around the technology to make the magic happen is phenomenal. Everyone's too busy trying to make life better, you're out here making life fun

[wikalaxy]

Considering how amazing all of these automations are, the kids will probably want to bang on the door for more games!

Mom, Dad, why does my favorite song keep coming from your room at night?

[connorjrt]

These automations are amazing, and with each one you managed to blow my expectations away. It's crazy to see people create such complex and amazing automations, when I wouldn't have thought half of this was even possible. Keep it up.

I just wanted to say, I don’t know how I found your channel but you’re just such a wholesome guy and I love that you include your family in your videos. It makes everything feel a lot more at home. Great content, please keep them coming as I not only find your videos helpful but very entertaining as well.

[stigs]

This is the coolest automations I've seen in a long time 😂😂 Keep up the the creativity and keep sharing 👌🏻😃

[SameerBedwal]

The post video scene was toooo cute!!❤️ Love the games as well

[adamjj]

You are a GENIUS! These are all amazing! How old are your kids? Curious when you think these will start to be effective?

[jamesmonahan]

Another great video demonstrating the possibilities of what you can do with the tech in our homes. As my kids our grown, will pass down some of these to them for their children. Very entertaining

[rleon]

You are awesome man! I need to do some home automations, but first I need to watch more of your stuff!

[Memain]

Neat idea, but this might teach your kids that "if I knock on the door, I'll get to play a game!"

[pocxvjs]

Wow, home automation into another level. Well done, sir!. Youre basically a full time software engineer at this point! Amazing automations!.

[MarcelElsaesser-ujre]

Hi Reid, I watch your videos regularly because of the nuanced content and the high quality. But this is just in a league of its own! Honestly floored by your ingenuity! All the best from Germany.

[manicmods]

My new channel dabbles in automation, and you've been recommended ever since. Amazing ideas and productions man!!!
